Kristina, I read your post about your grandfather Toivo Koivisto in Minnesota. I have a Toivo that is a possible connection to my Koivisto family. On the 1920 Federal Census, St. Louis County, Minnesota, Stuntz Township, Hibbing Village, 208 2nd Avenue, I find John and Helen Koivisto with children Toivo, age 9, and Henry, age 7. In the same house is Everet and Aline Koivisto with son Raymond, age 2 1/2. I think this Everet is the half brother of my great grandmother, Laura Amanda Koivisto. I do not know yet what the connection is between John and Everet. On the Social Security Death Index, I find Toivo Koivisto date of birth 23 FEB 1911, d. JUL 1986 in Hibbing, St. Louis, MN. I have more if this is a connection.
My email is
